When to Get Acupuncture

Acute Injuries

Acupuncture treatments are a great thing to add any recovery routine of an acute traumatic injury. In fact, best results are achieved when treatments start immediately after the time of injury.

These treatments offer immediate pain and swelling reduction, and improved blood flow to the injured area to ensure regrowth of healthy tissue.

Some injuries are not sudden, but slowly build up over time.

Chronic injuries usually start out as a nagging dull ache. This is the best time to start receiving treatment for these injuries. Ongoing pain can lead to further dysfunction requiring more recovery time.

Once the framework of the injury is understood, a comprehensive treatment plan can be devised to address both the main symptoms and their causes.

Find Out How Acupuncture Can Help Your Sport injury

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for sports injuries, helping to reduce pain, promote healing, and improve mobility. By targeting specific points, acupuncture accelerates recovery, relieves muscle tension, and reduces inflammation, allowing you to get back to your sport faster and with less risk of re-injury.

Acupuncture Aftercare and Follow-Up

To get the most out of your acupuncture treatments for chronic pain in Jacksonville, proper aftercare is essential. While some patients experience immediate relief and relaxation, others may feel mild fatigue as their body adjusts and begins to heal. To maximize your results, it’s important to stay hydrated, rest, and avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of the day. These simple steps will help support the body’s natural healing process, reduce inflammation, and enhance the long-term benefits of acupuncture in managing chronic pain.
